Plug announcement due at 4

Plug Power Inc. just said it will make an announcement at 4 today “with respect to the status of the CEO search in progress.”

Plug CEO Roger Saillant is retiring today, on his 65th birthday.

The Latham-based developer of fuel cells said on Friday that it would announce a new CEO — or an interim one — today. As of Friday, the search was down to two candidates.

The news is to come via PrimeNewswire, a press release service. “We wanted to give local media advanced notice should you need to keep staff on hand to cover the story,” the company said in its advisory.
